Beautiful campground with plenty of rustic, RV, or cabin options. A large swimming (a little rocky but that’s Huron for you) beach, trails, spotlessly clean modern showers and bathroom, clean vault toilets, and the friendliest staff. We chose a rustic lakefront spot for our trip and, weather aside, we had a blast. The office folks will bring you back to the rustic sites and cabins (no cars allowed on the rustic/cabin sites) with all your gear in a trailer and even deliver ice and wood at request (bring cash! and a nice tip!). Sites aren’t very private and quite close together but we expected that, get creative with arranging your tents and it won’t matter. We look forward to our next trip to Wagener! ***Prepare for strong winds!!!!!!***

We have stayed in the cabins every summer for a number of years. The 3 cabins facing the lake are the best in our opinion. What a view!!

Love camping on the lake. Electric only but worth the inconvenience. We visit a few times a year. Lots of wood and ice available 24/7. Clean sites and awesome staff. 8/24/24.....Better than last year!!!

All the trails are clean and trimmed. This means alot to me since I walk with a cane. I would recommend this park to everyone !!! So nice. Next time we visit we are going to rent a cabin for that experience !! 5 stars out of 5 !!!!!

Awesome hidden gem. We had the opportunity to visit this past weekend we had a rustic site. The bathrooms are clean, the office is right on the water and offer wood and ice for cheap cheap. Hiked the trails, swing set on the beach, volleyball net on the beach. Super quiet at night, the roar of lake Huron it's amazing. We will definitely be back. Close to turnip rock and shipwrecks. One of our favorite spots.
